[@randerson4383]

Stops like this are ridiculous in my opinion. Expired tags, well okay I can see that but all that other BS, totally ridiculous. Go after the red light runners, speeders, drunk drivers, reckless drivers, etc. - They let criminals off the hook for serious criminal offenses in California and they’re going after this guy for a wrong steering wheel and missing stickers on his engine? So this cop went home to his wife that evening and said “honey, I was putting my life on the line all day, stopping cars with incorrect steering wheels”. This guy is a real hero, thanks for your service officer.

[@2WheelsGood.01]

You're completely uninformed. All those other people you mentioned do get caught by the cops. What you're talking about is a court and district attorney issue. Some cops, like this one, are part of the traffic division, whose sole job is traffic stops.

​@2WheelsGood.01 there's some truth to the original post, there's hundreds of homeless people on the streets on drugs that cops ignore every single day. I saw a homeless guy by a an area with high foot traffic (there's a supermarket and lots of other stores like restaurants and froyo etc) that had his pants down exposing his private parts, and sat on a trashcan to take a dump. The sheriff's got there like 10 minutes later because I'm assuming someone called them. They talked to the guy and let him go! Cops let the homeless break the law every single day and enforce it on us tax paying citizens!

The cop stopped one day and made a comment about the slicks and the guy said in my driveway nothing you can do. The next time the guy took his car out he changed the tires but got pulled over by the same cop that would drive by for illegal exhaust and modded Engine.

[@springfever2002]

This really makes my blood boil. I have been in this kind of situation before. Not this exact type but very close. Twice in California. I used to have a 1985 Toyota Corolla RWD, that was difficult to find OEM parts for in the mid 2000's. I could not for the life of me get the car to pass smog because no one could get the parts or have the knowledge to fix the carburetor correctly. No matter what I did, the car would pass and then fail smog for stupid reasons. It was an SOHC and my hopes were to change it over to one of the DOHC engines. This was before the Initial D craze. Cop's would pull me over and eventually, I had to let her get junked because CARB deemed her the smog system unrepairable. Another incident happened with my Mitsubishi Montero, but I sold it before it became a problem, as just finding a working engine took a few months, and parts were a pain to find. School police impounded it due to expired tags, as the truck's bumper needed to be replaced so it could pass the brake and light inspection, because the passenger side reverse light got smashed in due to a rear end collision which the insurance wrote the truck off. The Montero had everything working, but because one of the reverse light was smashed in. I needed to find a new bumper. While my Montero was in impound, I finally was able to find a rear bumper. The rear bumper costed me $400 but the impound fees cost me $3,500. As the Montero was impounded right when I got my paycheck and had to pay rent. Needless to say, this video kinda hits home. Many time, especially when one has an older vehicle, it is so difficult to find OEM parts, yet alone, there may be better Aftermarket parts available. However, because California requires OEM parts to pass smog and brake and light inspections. It forces so many people to junk perfectly good running vehicles, as adding modifications makes them a target. The whole tuner scene has basically disappeared in California because of the ridiculous laws that are on the books. Air intakes do not change emissions coming from the tailpipe. Yet California makes them illegal unless the cold air intake manufacturer pays the CARB tax to operate in the State. Smh...

this is pretty rare, i've lived here 30 years and only got an exhaust ticket once. it's kind of a rule of thumb here to always save your stock parts in case you get state reffed. we obviously put the parts back on once they sign the ticket. very low chance youll be pulled over again by the same cop

[@AlenMajetic]

If you get a chance ask "So when car manufactures state "airbag may save lives" does that mean it doesn't and it's not legal from the start?" Or the recalls that many manufacturer have because airbags kill and injure people?

[@SUPRAMIKE18]

The infamous Takata airbags were used in all these 90s Honda's too

[@markking3755]

in cali the polce can ask you to pop your hood and if you refuse to pop your hood then they jsut call a towtuck to take the car away then this has been going on all the way back in the 1990s. i had some firends this had happen back in the 1990s.

This cop should come to Philly he’ll have a field day stopping cars 24-7🎉😂

[@saulaguilera6494]

He will get arrested but people can walk into a store and take thousands of dollars worth of products and not even get stopped.

[@samsaverino8159]

This is ridiculous, idk why anyone would want to live in a place like that.

[@2WheelsGood.01]

Because there are a lot of job opportunities, very good companies, high salaries, lots of top talent to network with, good weather year round. Getting pulled over because you're driving a car in shambles isn't a concern for 99% of people.

[@samsaverino8159]

@@2WheelsGood.01 it's not that alone, it's that I never hear of anything other than absurd laws, ridiculously high cost of living/ housing, out of control homelessness, earthquakes, nutjobs, I hear nothing but bad things about there.

2024 youngstas need realize exhaust , tint on windows especially aftermarket intake is asking for attention and state ref. Speaking from OG long in the game since the early 90s. I got the same treatment from all these WHITE COPS but got away with all the time because mine was clean no tint, no intake, no exhaust, yes hollowed cat , and cams which they couldn't see ofcourse , slammed as fuck tucked half the tire in EG milano red si stock exhaust but they just wanted to admire it hoping to see headers and intake but i rigged cold air under stock box. Youngstas today just never learn. Keep it clean and simpe before rolling street especially with updated tags 😅. Making import negligent but its acuallty rookie owners riding hot 😢. Still got car til this day riding oem plus yes i am California barred to avoid all the nonsense!!!!

Bro shut up, if u wanna live under the WHITE boot that bad jus say tht. u been programmed to think u have to hide nd bend ur knees bc ItS tHe LaW while their are places who’d will let u do car mods, and in fact incurage u to do so. if it’s been that bad since the 90s I don’t get y u keep voting the same and think things will be different. when it’s only getting worse for us 2024 YoUnGStAs. all u can do is try to ego others bc ur shit takes.

[@tr1bes]

Just give a warning ticket. Refer to mechanics to help. I know people would think this is BS but it's safety for passengers, drivers, and other public vehicle as well. People don't want to mess with a driven bomb.

Glad I live in Michigan, here you can buy a beat to hell car for $200 scrap value and drive all you want as long as lights are working properly.

I don’t know how these officers in good conscience cite people for this stuff. No way could I be a officer in a state like that. I’d be ashamed of myself.

[@fixhead562]

it sucks bro and i know civics are getting harder to come by but in cali if you ride around in anything that looks like a project car the cops are going to pull you over. It basically has to be cherry to not get messed with

[@sietherine]

Did these even come with factory air bags? I am not sure.

[@linx7130]

Thats what happens when you put a overly loud exaust on your car in California and Dont pay your tags

[@kurtgobang9488]

It baffles me as to why anyone still lives in California. But the downside is that a lot of people that do leave, vote for things that make other places just as bad as cali.

[@seabreeze9122]

He wanted to check your paperwork😅

[@laffz2224]

A little known fact is that if your car is legal in one state, other states you travel to or through can not legally stop you for state specific violations. The United States Constitution is very clear about that.

90% of the time cops do not give a shit in PA. I know a lot of the older cops appreciate the classics and American Muscle cars. I have never been bothered in my Camaro with a loud exhaust, Loud idle, and 20% tint all around.

California needs to leave the chat. Really thankful to live in a part of the country that's still mostly free.

If you didnt catch on, cop HATES his car, the nice guy act was just to get the guy to comply and screw him with more stuff. I notice a big differrence from driving in my camaro and challenger to my subaru, the JDM stuff makes cops seethe.
